"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Fitz.


On this date in 1975, at this hour, the ore-carrier Edmund Fitzgerald was lost with all hands on Lake Superior.

Then the Anderson just raised up and shook herself off of all that water - barrooff - just like a big dog. Another wave just like the first one or bigger hit us again. I watched those two waves head down the lake towards the Fitzgerald, and I think those were the two that sent him under.

Read the rest at The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum.
